Years ago, I did this on facebook. I just unearthed it while cleaning up over there, and decided to share...

25 Random Things About Me



1. I have awesome eye color, but I personally like my cheekbones better.

2. I'm addicted to role playing games. I can deal with 'live action' games, but I adore menu driven games. Basically, if I can play a game and watch tv at the same time, I'm happy.

3. I'm a single malt Scotch addict. I adore the stuff, and keep a list (with tasting notes and a 1-5 star scale) of ones I've tried. I'll probably never complete my 'to try' list, since I keep adding to it, and some of the ones on the list are thousands of dollars a bottle.

4. I've eaten roadkill. Granted, it was pheasant, but it was still roadkill.

5. I love to travel. Especially driving. If I've calculated right, I've personally driven a car enough to encompass the Earth four times.

6. I like nearly all types of music. Even some rap. But, most rap (and almost all Reggae) makes me cringe.

7. I have a habit of closing my eyes and plugging my ears if something embarrassing comes on a tv show.

8. I know enough basic car repair to change the oil, clean and re-assemble a carburetor, and do other basic repairs. As long as I have the correct tools and the book for that car. I don't want to ever do it, but I could.

9. I've touched the Rosetta Stone. It was a stupid "I'm a teenager!" moment. But, I've touched it!

10. I've overdosed on Arthurian/Grail myth so much, it'll take something stupendous and wonderful to pull me into a story about it. Mostly, I avoid it.

11. I used to drink an espresso drink a day. Now, I drink tea.

12. I hate talking on the phone. I'm almost phobic about it. It's better if someone calls me. Which shocks my employers when I admit it, since it seems I'm good on the phone.

13. I've kept my 'Hello Kitty' mood theme on my live journal mostly because it freaks all my friends out to see it.

14. I have a purple taffeta civil war jacket that is one of my favorite pieces of clothing. Even though, I can only really wear it to sci-fi conventions and as part of my pirate Halloween costume.

15. So far, the only time I've gotten stopped by the cops was for drug running in the Natchez Trace. No, really. The cops were looking for drug runners and pulled me over with the excuse of a light out so they could search the car if we looked suspicious.

16. My first (and only) experience with public indecent exposure was when I two. I stripped naked in an grocery store and ran around. My mom calmly picked up my clothes and folded them, telling people she'd grab me on the way out.

17. It freaks people out that I can type, hold a different conversation, and stare at ceiling, all at the same time.

18. My first at fault car accident was when I was two. Came very close to killing my dad. I somehow got the running car into drive from the parking brake being on and nearly ran him down.

19. My personal culinary masterpiece is chex mix. It is of the good.

20. I lived on a haunted RAF base in England for almost five years.

21. On my one cruise, I sprained my ankle in Chichen Itza, had all my money stolen in Cozumel, and got heat exhaustion in Key West. Yet, it's one of my favorite vacations.

22. I like being 'girly' with the styled hair, make-up, and manicured nails. I'm just too lazy to do most of it.

23. I suffered 1st degree burns on my legs when I was a kid from butter grease. I have no scars because my mother popped Vitamin E capsules three times a day for months.

24. I'm a direct descendant of Myles Standish of the Pilgrims. I can't personally prove it, as a Great Aunt did the work, but yes, I am. In fact, the drawing of him on wikipedia? I have the same nose and forehead.

25. I'm a third generation choc-a-holic.
